Nobody has ever raced in more F1 grands prix than Fernando Alonso. Nobody, until this weekend, has ever raced in 400 grands prix. When the lights go down in thirty minutes, Alonso will be the first. Here’s what he said about the milestone yesterday to F1tv:
💬 “… Obviously, I feel extremely lucky and privileged, you know, to be a part of the show. It was a dream when I was a kid, you know, to drive in Formula One one day. And I’ve spent more than two decades here in this paddock. So, every moment, every second, every qualifying, every practice, I do enjoy a lot. And I feel extremely lucky.”
To better understand what sets the 43-year-old apart, Luke Smith spoke to his former teammates and peers this week.
